Hi, could anybody tell me what's missing in my kaplan note? I have a list below. How many topics/chapters should be there totally? Is neurology, dermatology, emergency, preventive medicine covered in Kaplan notes? Are there and what are the differences b/t 2001 and 2003-4 notes? Many thanks! Cardiology, endocrinology gastroentology general surgery hematology infectious diseases nephrology Ob/Gyn orthopedic-surgery pediatrics preventive-medicine psychiatry pulmonology radiology rheumatology trauma

You are welcome. I am planning to get them from ebay. They are the notes with orange cover design. I think the older edition has blue color cover design.

Just one correction, I am very sure that 2004 edition has orange color cover design. I am not sure which edition is the one with blue color cover design. For all you know they might have just changed the cover color without changing any material inside. May be someone who has seen both or somebody who has notes with blue color cover design can help us. Yes I will update you when I get the note.

I saw a blue cover series sold on ebay but I am not so sure if it's kaplan notes. It's named "kaplan review series". Is there such a series in addition to Kaplan notes?

I know for step 1, that step 1 kap review series is different from lecture notes. Review books are like text books, very detailed.
